What you are most likely dealing with: Insufficient Pure Sn layer ( multiple causes ) Because elevated temperatures accelerate the diffusion process, the thickness of the Pure Sn layer will reduce during every thermal cycle... ( bakeing PCBs, S

Sheldon, Tip life is directly related to temperature, IRON plating thickness on the tip, Alloy composition used and operator technique. High tin contents in lead free alloys attach the tips. Poor wetting and higher melting temperatures cause us
